ing thu disappearance of Fred rick

second Street Police Station at an
early hour last evening and said that

forts have been unsuccessful, and it is

morning that Jacob Kuebler had some
trouble with his brother Herman and
Peter Nichols, who were also suspect
ed of being implicated in the disap-
peardnce of With. The police think
that Kueblsr is crazy. While search.
ing at red bridge the police discovered
the body of man which had evident.
ly been in the water for some time,
but which when brought to the sur
face proved to bethe body of another
man than Wirth. 1t was fund ia the
water at the identical spot where it
was stated the body CT Wirth would
be found. The police are now more

the evidence of this morning indicat.
ing that another and totally different

ODD FORMS OF ENGLISH.
An Amusing Collection of Verbal Bulls ana
Biunders.

BlunuefSs
Curious ways of expressing ideas in
English may be expected from foreign
ers, as, for instance, when the French
man, who paid q call to this country
and was about to be introduced to a
family, said; "Ah, re ladies'! Zen l
would before, if you please, wish to
purify mine hands and to sweep mine
hair"
But the various nationalities of the
British isles are sometimes not whit
behind in verbal bulls and blunderS,
and in what may generally be de-
scribad as odd ways Of putting things.
It is said that when Constable's aunt
was dying the good, deaf old lady said:
"Anne, if Ishould be spared to be taken
away l hope my nephew will get the
doctor to open my head and see if any
thing can be done for my hearing"
A Paisley publican was complaining of
his servant-maid that she could never
be found when required. She'll gang
DOT o the house" said he, "twenty
times for ance she'll come in" Unjust
have been relative of his who aroused
her servant ut four O'Clock with:
Come, Mary, get up. Here It's Mon
day morning, tomorrow is Tuesday,
the next day 5 Wednesday-half the
week gone and nothing done yet"
Tahy often plays amusing pranks
with the Queens English. A Welsh
landlord, who for some time had been
annoyed by an obstreperous guest,
walked across the room to him, and,
striking the table with his fist, shouted
very volubly: You hat kick up row
all day here tonight! We was not in
terfere with You, do we? Fiery man
here mind his own pizness; yes, by
Jing! no! -
Pat, of course, is proverbial for his
eloquent, if rather novel and puzzling
ways ofputting things. \ retired army
surgeon in the north of Ireland had
humorous experience of this when often
visited by the neighboring peasants
who were anxious 10 avail themselves
of his good nature and professional
skill. One applicant for relief described
himself as having "a great bilin' in his
troat, and his heart was us if we had it
in yer hand and was squeezn' at it.

woman, I'm in great disthress l fell
down yesterday and broke five of my

said: "Savin' yer honor's presence. me

ribs. " A traveller being on the box of
an Irish mai; coach on very cold day,
and observing the driver enveloping his
neck in the voluminous folds of an

CLIMBING a MOUNTAIN.

Discomforts Experienced by Tourists Bound
for Popocatepetrs Summit.
The effects Of the rarity of the atmos-
phere were felt as soon rs the start was
made, and it was impossible to proceed
more than u few yards without stopping
to take breath. The ascent was made
in zig-zags, and naturally rest was
taken at the end of each direct line.
At the start, TO climb for eight minutes
| and rest five was considered making
very good time. 1t was not long be-
fore u rest OF eight minutes was re-
quired for every four of climbing, and
after half the ascent was made we
rested more frequently and without
eXerting ourselves to sit down. We
thrust our slaves into the snow and
leaned our heads upon them. Drowsi-
ness overlook us, and progress became
mechanical We moved only as spurred
on by our ever-watchful guides. If
left to ourselves we would have fallen
asleep. Our hearts beat with fearful
rapidity and the breath became shorter
and shorter Ringing sensations in the
head like those produced by large
doses of quinfne were experienced.
The most acute pains shot through the
skull. Conversation was suspended,
except among the guides, and their
voices fell on our ears as if coming
from great distance. 1t was impos-
sible to tell what progress was being
made, for the top and bottom seemed
equidistant all the way up. We barely
escaped the most severe experience
likely to occur to those who reach that
high elevation: bleeding at the nose,
mouth and ears. 1t would have been the
signal that we had gone too far, that
heart AMI lungs refused to submit
further, and we should have placed
ourselves in the hands of our guides to
be carried back to Tlamacas a.
Our physical endurance was stretched
almost to its limit by the time the head
guide shouted. Here we are! Smell the
sulphur The Whit of sulphurous
smoke which greeted our nostrils,. tell
ing that our task was nearly completed
and was at hand, acted like power

to an Investigator a handsomely deco

"France, perhaps"
"No. l bought the plate down tow.

an air of triumph; ''but you can't cut

liquid gold, which cost 1915. You
used about half that amount"
"Not all on that plate. John. You

81 know you did, my dear, and you
ruined about SO worth of carpet with
the stuff; but didn't intend to reckon
that in this table. Then you bought Il

design you painted, at 81 lesson. If
you paint any more plates, you will
have to take more lessons. Isn't that

Yes, but | will only need one or two

Allowed on earth to roam
Crushed that which Woman loves SO well.
Her sweet and sacred home.
From Eden, lost through his black art.
she wandered out foclorn;
She cursed him in her gentle heart
With meek but deadly scorn
And since, in varied guise of sin, -.
He works his hateful will,
And reappears to-day within
The serpent of the still.
He comes not now in subtle mood
With Smiles as long ago
Entieing her by honeyed food,
And mysteries she may know;
He makes insulting, swift advance
Into her bright home-nest,
Admitted and embraced, perchance,
BY those she loves the best
He brings the WORLD where he must dwell,
Her days and nights to fill,
Transmitting Paradise to He'll
This serpent OF the still
He twines about her trembling life,
And soils it with his slime;
He nils the hours with foolish strife,
he sows the seeds OF crime.
And Poverty and fierce Disease,
And Hunger and Disgrace,
And Death by death-empanged degrees,
Are in his cold embrace.
To grieve, TO hurt, 10 rend, to smite,
To ruin and 10 kill,
Are leaden links of his delight
The serpent of the stilll
Rouse, Woman, in your quiet power,
Your hearts man-withering frown,
Your hand that rules the festal hour,
Aud crush the monster down!

You mark the infants way,

Mans action you can sway;

To fight its deadliest i'll

The CHURCH BOYCOTT.

New York, April 4.-The sup
porters of DR.. McGlynn in St.
Stephens parish attended services
in large numbers yesterday, but they
put almost nothing in the contribu-
ton boxes; it being the first Sunday
of the month, all collections would
go to the support of the priests of
the parish. At high mass only four
cents were collected from the pews
opening out of one aisle. The
leaders of the Committee of Thirty
five were elated during the day at
the success of the boycott. The re-
port was in circulation and generally
believed in the parish that Father
Cotton was TO he succeeded by Rev.
Henry A. Brann, now of st. Eliza
beth's, as pastor of st. Stephens.
Father Brann has been very promi-
nent in opposition TO Henry George
and his doctrines. Much indigna-
ton was felt by some of the parish
toner's when they were informed that
Rev. DR.. Richard l.. Buttsell had
been suspended from the pastorate
of the Church of the Epiphany on
account of his presence at the
Academy of Music when McGlynn
spoke last Tuesday evening,
